There are only a few bars in Saint Anthony so I didn't have too many options but I'm glad I stumbled upon this place! It's your typical dive bar with pool tables (50 cents a game), darts, and TVs for sports. Their wells are $3 which is always a great price and they also have happy hour from 5-7pm which is 50 cents off wells. My bartender Abby was also amazing! We had some great conversations and we realized we were both huge true crime fans and were talking about a particular active case local to Saint Anthony/Rexburg (Mommy Doomsday anyone?). The locals at the bar were very welcoming to out-of-towners which is always a good feeling, and you have great conversations with random strangers which make for the best memories. This is a fun place!

We had a nice experience here. We tried the David's chopped salad but switched the dressing with…read morethe beat salad (honey citrus vinaigrette) as it sounded really good. This was indeed a pro move. We also had the Faroe island salmon which, at $43 was too expensive, but was really good (in a previous menue picture I looked at it was $34). Finally, both my wife and I enjoyed the huckleberry cosmo. Our waiter did a good job of selling us on the desert. The brownie skillet with ice cream was a good reminder of how all deserts should come as a hot/cold pairing.

We sat down and were asked if we wanted the shades pulled down but we said we liked the light and enjoyed having them open. Shortly after that a group sat at the table next to us and the waitress closed the blinds completely without saying anything to us. If the light was in someone's eyes I totally support lowering them a bit but it was 4pm and if you're going to ask every table if they want them open or closed and you end up with two next to each other having opposing opinions then just ask if the other table minds ifs lowered partially or let them know what you're doing. Frustrating because we chose to eat here specifically for a view of the mountain. Secondly we asked our waitress for ranch and when she brought out our waters out she brought ketchup and said she'd be right back with the ranch. Our food then came and we asked the guy who brought it to bring some ranch but that never came. I wouldn't care much about it if the burger wasn't completely flavorless (which I'll touch on in a moment). Then we finally were able to get some ranch when the host walked by and he was great and brought it to us right away but having to ask 3 times for some ranch was frustrating. If this was all and the food was great, I'd let all this go BUT the burger (which we added bacon to) was completely flavorless. For a burger to have meat cheese and bacon and still taste like nothing is impressive. When the ranch finally came...it was awful. I've genuinely never met a ranch I didn't like until this one. It tasted like chemicals. Everyone at the table tried it and agreed. I didn't try the wings that others at table had so I can't comment on them myself but there weren't any good reviews from that side of the table either. I think this may just be a spot to grab a drink because it's tough to mess up a burger wings and ranch but this place managed to.

Sure, the dj is probably playing music off of a pre-mixed tape or even just the song of an artist that isn't even mixed. Our friends from the area were showing us the different bars when the girls from California (guilty as charged) asked them to find a club with dancing. Was the location and atmospheres 4 stars? Maybe not but it was so much fun! Get a couple of drinks in your system and just shake off the "i'm scared people will judge me " vibes! I don't think there was a cover for the girls and the songs they played were all songs that I could dance too. On our last night in Idaho, we actually wanted to come back and just have fun one last time but it was closed.

The main problem is that your DJ on Saturday night is NOT A DJ!!! HE SUCKS EVERY TIME... NOT JUST A LITTLE... HE SUCKS HARDCORE!!!

The other issue is that the carpets are sticky and nasty. Nobody wants to feel their shoes sticking to the carpet! Back in the day this was the place to be. Now it's just sad.

On September 18th, my husband and I went to Ford's Bar in Idaho Falls with some family while we…read morewere in town visiting for a wedding. Everyone paid for their own drinks except my husband's brother and his brother's girlfriend. My husband opened a tab only for the drinks he personally ordered for them and himself. When we later checked our bank statement, before we were heading back home we noticed we were charged significantly more than expected. $435 to be exact. After calling the bar, they emailed us a receipt, which showed several drinks we did not order or recognize, along with a $15 tip that we did not authorize. (We had been tipping with cash) & after trying to figure out what the heck happened we realized were also never given a receipt to review or sign that night. We asked for that the day we called and were told we couldn't get it because the owner had already picked all that up. So she sent an itemized receipt instead. We did try to resolve this through our bank, but the dispute came back as "inconclusive" since the receipt provided just shows what was entered into the system, not what was actually authorized. We've also tried contacting the owner as directed, numerous times over the last 4 months but communication has been very limited, which has made it difficult to know how to proceed. He responded pretty quick to our first email, and said he'd look into it. Then silence. We emailed a few times after that & I've called a few times. One thing that added to the confusion is that we were told if a tab isn't closed, the bar's policy is to add a 25% gratuity -- or 20% can't remember what she had said which would have been much more than the tip that was added. That makes it unclear whether the tab was closed or handled correctly. I got there first with 4 other ladies in the wedding party. My husband showed up later with his brother. And he ordered all 5 of us a birthday cake shot- (not realizing it was ladies night & if I'd ordered we could have gotten free ones haha) & then himself an AMF & his brother a jack & coke. He closed that tab and signed a receipt for $64. Then his brothers girlfriend showed up after she got off work around the time the second tab was opened- he got the patron for the 3 of them. And 2 beers between the shots. So with all that they have on both tabs it would have been $485 worth of alcohol. Second tab only being for 3 people and the one he didn't receive a receipt for- which the owner just confirmed via email. No receipt was signed. But per the itemized receipt that tab was closed at 1:30am BEFORE the bar closed and BEFORE we left. Its been a nightmare and I still haven't been able to get my money back.

I'd be lying if I told you I wanted to go here on a Friday night. A quiet town, a small bar, random…read morelocals. In my head it was a recipe for awkward, but in reality, it was the best decision I made on my trip. While visiting Yellowstone and staying at a local weekend rental, my friend and I decided to swing through Shotgun Bar on a Friday night. We expected live music, but were met with the quiet tone of the jukebox. Apparently, the live music happens during the summer and winter. However, that didn't matter. A couple locals sat at the bar and a friendly bartender immediately welcomed us. As a tourist, I wasn't sure whether to pretend to fit in or play it off and not bother the locals. It wasn't long before we were sniffed out. It is a small town of 250+ after all. What happened next would change the course of our journey. We ended up meeting some of the friendliest, funnest and funniest people of our lives. They embraced us and before we knew it, we were all buying each other drinks. I will warn you, the sake jelly shots we were encouraged to chug were a struggle, but the experience left us holding our bellies with laughter. One of the owners of the bar, Katie, really made the experience special. She told us stories of the locals, gave us Yellowstone tips and history, showed us around and invited us to her home. She introduced us to other locals and genuinely made the experience once in a lifetime. By the end of the weekend we didn't just have drinking buddies at a bar, we met kind-hearted, genuine and incredibly funny people that we now consider friends. On top of all that, the beer selection was superior. As we prepared to leave on the final night, the other owner, Jessica, gave her own bottle of bear spray to us so we wouldn't be mauled walking home at night (Uber isn't quite prevalent here). Luckily, we didn't need to use it. These people are the real deal, these people are genuine Americans. This experience made Yellowstone feel like a tiny morsel of awesome in the grand scheme of things. As they say, sometimes it's not about the destination, it's about the people you meet along the way. Definitely meet the people of Shotgun Bar.
